Device Story

ZIP™ Condom Catheter is a reusable, single-piece external male urine collection system. Components include a natural latex condom/sheath with an integral 450 mL urine collection compartment, a Velcro-like band/support strap, an application ring, and specialized male underpants. Device operates via gravity-fed urine flow from the sheath into the collection compartment, separated by non-return flow valves to prevent backflow. Distal end features a twist-open/close drain valve for emptying. Used by patients for urinary incontinence management; intended for daily living activities. Patients clean the device with soap/detergent and surface disinfectants; recommended replacement after one week due to valve performance degradation from sediment/crystals. System design allows for stand-up urination and is intended to be unobtrusive under clothing.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is based on design, material composition, and intended use comparisons to legally marketed predicate devices.

Technological Characteristics

Constructed from natural rubber latex. Features a single-piece design with an integral 450 mL collection compartment, non-return flow valves, and a twist-open drain valve. Secured via Velcro-like band and support strap. Reusable for approximately one week. Not sterile; requires manual cleaning and surface disinfection.

Indications for Use

Indicated for male patients requiring a non-indwelling urinary continence aid or management of urinary incontinence via penile attachment for urine collection.

## 6. Substantially Equivalent Device(s):

1. Mentor Freedom Cath® - Self Adhering External Male Catheter
2. Everyday - Self Adhesive Urinary External Catheter
3. Uri-Drain® - Male Urinary Control Device
4. Uri-Drain® - Leg Bag - Reusable Deluxe

## 7. Device Description:

The ZIP™ Condom Catheter has four basic elements: 1) the condom/sheath with integral urine collection compartment; 2) the Velcro-like band and support strap; 3) the Application ring; and 4) the specially designed male underpants brief.

The condom/sheath with integral urine collection compartment forms a bulbous tube approximately 10 ½ inches long. The tube is divided into two sections, the condom/sheath and the urine collection compartment. Non-return flow valves separate the condom/sheath portion from the urine collection compartment. The distal end of the urine collection compartment is affixed with a twist-open twist-closed stop-cock drain valve. The urine collection capacity is approximately 450 ml. Typical human urine output thus yields a time related capacity of about 4 to 6 hours.

A series of 4 sizes differing in sheath diameter and length will be offered. Specific name designators for the sizes are yet to be determined.

**Design:** The ZIP™ Condom Catheter expands upon existing male urine continence devices by first approaching the device as a “total” or “system” concept rather than just a collection of items originally developed for other urine collection purposes.

Only the essential elements of the ideal male urine continence system were considered. First, the system had to be easy to apply and use. Second, it should allow use of traditional male urination methods, i.e., the stand-up urinals found in public restrooms. Third, the system should be small enough to go unnoticed during the typical activities of daily living. Fourth, the system should have adequate capacity so that urine disposal intervals are not unreasonably short. Lastly, the system should be reusable and easily cleaned and sanitized.

This is a natural latex containing product. The ZIP™ Condom Catheter is made from the exact same natural latex formulation as the Everyday - Self-Adhesive Urinary External Catheter made by Hollister, Inc. The use of pure latex to construct the ZIP™ Condom Catheter requires the inclusion of certain FDA required cautionary statements. Latex containing devices must legibly bear an appropriate allergic reaction statement on the device labeling. In conformance with this FDA requirement, Goulter Medical, Inc. attaches a label containing the following cautionary statement to the device. “This product is made from natural rubber latex which may cause allergic reactions in some individuals”.

## The Cleared Indications for use are:

1. For penile attachment only
2. Non-Indwelling Urinary continence aid
3. Management of Urinary Incontinence
4. Urine Collection Device

## Claims:

1. Unobtrusive
2. Reusable
3. Cost effective
4. Single piece system
5. Enhanced self-image and esteem
6. Improves social freedom
7. Lightweight
8. Less physically restrictive
9. Easy to use

## 8. Cleaning/Sterilization/Re-sterilization:

The device may not be sterilized or re-sterilized. Cleaning and washing using soap/detergent/water followed by surface disinfection may be employed using commercially available liquid germicidal agents. The device is reusable for a limited period of time. Generally, with reasonable care, the device may be used for about a week. Though in individual cases this period may be shorter or longer. Most often the limiting factor is the performance of the anti-reverse flow valves which tend to be performance affected by accumulating urine sediments and crystals. It is recommended that the device not be reused for more than a week and it should be replaced at once if the valves fail to operate properly.

## 9. Equivalence:

Based on the materials, intended uses, design and clinical effectiveness, the ZIP™ Condom Catheter is substantially equivalent to the previously referenced legally marketed male external urinary collection devices.

The feature comparison chart on the following page graphically demonstrates equivalence.
